Tactical Strategy by TargonRedDragon on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Based on Chapter 2 of Birth of the Shivanian Heroes: "First Assignment"

Skaro and Zacquaris received the royal message from King Corus by a messenger. The message was written that he and the extraordinary, skilled Shivanians shall be invited to the Shivanian Fortress to involve in the battle. The land in Shivanian Territory was invaded and Rakrov Village was ravaged under the hands of Ta'zan army. This angered Skaro, outrageously throwing the message away. Under his grief, he complied King Corus's request and led the higly-skilled trainers of his school to Xan'orthras where his old companions were waiting.

Captain Vedran (the teal-scaled, yellow-haired and horned lizardman) led Skaro in the war room to meet his best friend Second-in-Command Khorvis (the dark-green scaled, frilled lizardman) who is with General Kravor (the basilisk lizardman). The quartet had been in the training since their childhood, so they reunited to participate in the vengeance, which Kravor should create a strategy according to the battlefield. They wear blue-and-gold garments as if they are elites of the Shivanian military. Kravor received from King Corus the unfinished map of Lizardland--where the east side of the Lizardland, the Ta'zan Territory, was never been drawn as the Shivanian scouts were killed on sight. Logically and comprehensively stating the plans and tactics, he marked the two armies, which Vedran and Khorvis should separate to the both sides of the battlefield as concealed back-ups. The main army will be led by himself and Skaro face-to-face against Ta'zan invaders.

Meanwhile, Corus's officials prepared the trained Shivanian soldiers and warriors on raptors, ceratopians, and pterosaurs. Zacquaris was adorned with raptor armor, seat, reins and stirrups, which he had dreamed long before.

Finally, the newest scaly-styled lizard artwork is made...I miss Skaro much ^^" It took me almost a month under school circumstances, so I wanted to continue this every week. I supposed to refer the war room similar to "Game of Thrones" episodes, but I choose this scene look like medieval style for high-ranked officials. (But, I still keep the jungle tribal style as they follow the nature and culture of Shivanian Tribe)

Three characters are new, Vedran, Khorvis and Kravor makes the first appearance, but sadly they are minor characters in the whole story.

I like the fashion colors: blue and gold...they are referred to "Crusaders" from Heroes of Might and Magic II.

After this artwork, then I can continue the other ideas besides original dragon and lizard art.

Edit: Skaro's hand is fixed in right proportion and structure and Kravor's chest is slightly shrank, thanks to my dad for pointing them out, and referencing with his own hand.^^
